Our History
The origin of our company is a wainwright workshop, where wagon wheels, sleighs, skis, ladders and all kinds of agricultural equipment were handcrafted from wood.
Wainwright Karl Lechner Sr. acquired a property during the war years that was built on with a workshop in 1947. In 1949 a residential building was added to the building. Both the workshop and the inhabited part of the house were expanded in several stages.
When Karl Lechner Jr. passed the exam to become a master carpenter, windows, doors and gates were manufactured since there was no longer much demand for wainwright goods in these years. Company founder Karl Lechner manufactured the wooden windows that were common at the time before switching production to plastic windows. The production of plasterer floats began in 1967 when the founder of our company, Karl Lechner, and his brother Josef Lechner filed a patent for “Plasterer Floats made of polyurethane foamed in one piece”.
This new product was presented to bricklayers, plasterers and screed layers, as until then they had worked with wooden floats. After this product had established itself on the market, production was concentrated only on these plasterer floats made out of polyurethane.
As this product became increasingly popular on the market, the property next door was purchased in 1978. This is where our current production and warehouse was built, which we were able to move into in 1979.
In December 1979, LECHNER Kunststoffverarbeitung GmbH was founded by Karl and Christa Lechner and in 1998 the old workshop was modernized and converted into a production building and office.
This day is our company directed by the eldest daughter of Karl and Christa Lechner, Petra Veicht and her husband Hans Veicht.
